Why I am getting error Invalid xml detected in file default/data/ui/views/._xmlFileName.xml at line 1?

[rsethi001]

 I see I don't have any ._*.xml files in my app, even though I have created a tar.gz file which excludes the local generated file.

Still I am getting the error 

Invalid xml detected in file default/data/ui/views/._xmlFileName.xml at line 1

Could you pls let me know what is the workaround for the same.

Thanks in advance.

Have you created the tar file on a Mac?

when do you see this error?

[rsethi001]

Yes, I have created the tar file on mac.

This error is coming while submitting my app to Splunkbase.

You are tarring up Mac's hidden files

Before you tar, set this variable

export COPYFILE_DISABLE=true

Google search for COPYFILE_DISABLE Mac
